Next, I feel sorry for the poor people running the Slovakia tourism board (see here also). Why don't you check it out for yourself rather than let some fictitious (and let's face it, stupid) movie decide for you. So, first lesson, hostels are safe and backpacking Europe is safe. After all, the whole of Europe is, no doubt in my mind, much safer than many parts of the US. That would be a very unfortunate result if this movie scared people away from this kind of trip. Who wants to get tortured to death in a cheap hostel in some distant land? I bet more than a few people have seen this and decided that the backpacking Europe adventure that they always dreamed about might not be such a good idea after all. Not that I really want to see it for I'm not real happy about its effect on backpacking Europe and on Slovakia as a travel destination.įirst, I know it's just a movie, but I must tell people who somehow think this movie captures the reality of hostels in Eastern Europe or anywhere that this definitely incorrect. I've not seen it, and probably won't for awhile since I live in Croatia and it won't play here for several weeks at least. You've probably heard of the new movie called Hostel about a few guys traveling Europe who encounter some terrible things in Eastern Europe.
